Dude what is the matter with you. Did you really just try to rationalize a grown man hitting a child with a skateboard as being done half-heartedly? Anyone stupid enough to charge someone carrying a weapon is not the kinda person you wanna take a chance being in close proximity with. You expect him to just stand there and take a beating? Or try to talk it out while the mob is threatening to kill him. How much time should he spend analyzing the situation? Feel free to stand around and get beat down by a mob while you try to explain yourself. I think the rest of us would rather deal with a jury.

Maybe half-hearted was a poor choice of words, but the video clearly shows the skateboard hit, and it is obvious that Huber was capable of swinging much harder and did not. Maybe children shouldn't have guns. Maybe children shouldn't get themselves into situations where they feel the only way they can survive is to shoot and kill people.

  My takeaway is very different from yours as to where ultimate fault lies. Maybe enforcement should do their job so children don't have to try to do their job for them.

    > Maybe enforcement should do their job so children don't have to try to do their job for them. Completely agree on this one.

  Why would Huber half-heartedly swing the skateboard? If he believed Kyle was an active shooter why would he "pull" his punches so to speak. If he didn't believe Kyle was an active shooter than he didn't have any reasons to attack and disarm him.

    That's a good question, and it's a shame we can't ask him. My personal opinion is that he wasn't trying to use the skateboard as a weapon, he was trying to use it as a shield, or to give him a bigger surface to push the gun with. Either that or that the idea came to him too late to swing fully. Those are both good questions though, and I don't have answers to either.
